This mutt got forced into css to satisfy the Political Correctness Police at a former employer (and at the same time, strong-armed into avoiding js "because Lynx doesn't support it.")

After a time ( a long time... ), /me came to see some advantages in the parts that work (along with the numerous, well-known disadvantages/limitations) and even got more-or-less comfortable with using styles. Time passed. Browsers got somewhat more (not totally sigh...) consistent in their interpretations. All in all, the state of the art today ain't all that bad (obviously, IMO; YMMV).

But, deep down in recesses of my heart (well-hidden from the PC police), I retain an inclination to agree....

And, while js has gotten somewhat better too, enough of my target audiences have it turned off that I try to avoid it.
